A London-area woman is one of eight finalists in a cross-country search to find Tim Hortons’ next doughnut offering.

Glencoe’s Jennifer Brown’s suggestion for a Love Reese’s to Pieces — sort of a Boston crème doughnut topped with bits of Reese’s peanut butter cups — was selected from among 76,500 entries in the company’s Dueling Donuts contest.

If selected by an all-Canadian panel of judges — actor Jason Priestley, singer songwriter Jann Arden, renowned pastry chef Anna Olson and media personality Ben Mulroney — Brown would win a $10,000 cash prize and have her doughnut added to the menu. Brown is quoted as saying the idea of a doughnut with peanuts was her initial inspiration.

“A peanut doughnut is an untapped resource, something that’s hard to find but we all want,” said Brown, who also declared her submission as “one small step for doughnuts, one giant leap for humankind” echoing the words of American astronaut Neil Armstrong when he stepped foot on the moon in 1969.
